GenAI models come with 'Acceptable Use Policies'. They prescribe what is acceptable and what is not, like harassment discrimination, child harm, violence, fraud, spam etc. Good! But what’s almost never considered unacceptable? Harming the environment! We argue that this must change 👊 rdcu.be/eLiTR
Foundation models’ acceptable use policies disregard the environment and nature

"Unsustainable artificial intelligence and algorithmically facilitated emissions: The case for emissions-reduction-by-design" by Jutta Haider et al.

AI-driven platforms normalize high-emission lifestyles, calls for redesign.

I hope the book gives you something!

I had a great discussion with @neilselwyn.bsky.social about handling disinformation in schools! Now out for anyone interested.
Helping students deal with disinformation & AI-generated slop is yet another thing that schools are now being asked to tackle. Listen to this new interview with information studies expert @olofsundin.bsky.social about what 'disinformation literacy' might look like: www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...

And there are two highly interesting keynote speakers to look forward to!
$4 million funding to Princeton University's climate research ended because:
- "climate scenarios fosters fear rather than rational, balanced discussion"
- analysis of climate impacts on water availability "perpetuate […] narratives [that] does not align with the priorities of this Administration"

For @thebulwark.bsky.social, I wrote about why I decided to testify before Congress on the censorship lie.

This hearing had everything:
-sexism
-references to Goebbels
-posthumous rehabilitation of McCarthy

In other words, another day in today’s GOP 🫠

Republicans Are Obsessed with a Censorship Lie
They’re even eager to namedrop Goebbels—but they blithely ignore the urgent First Amendment threats posed by Trump.

I am very pleased to announce that Prof. Dr Anne Beaulieu will be the first keynote speaker at the Inaugural Conference of the Search Engines and Society Network (SEASON2025) in Hamburg in September.

Latest Trump cabinet pick is Chris Wright for Energy Secretary, an oil executive. He has:

-Described net zero as "sinister."
-Last year said: “There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either.”
-Claimed we've seen no increase in extreme weather events.

Det är långt till jul. Den kom häromdagen, så du har inte missat den många timmar

Ny bok på svenska (tänkt som kursbok) just från trycket. Vad kan källkritik göra när ”Samtiden präglas av sociala mediers flöden, algoritmernas enorma makt och samtidigt osynlighet, och en framväxande generativ AI:s kapacitet att sprida lögner, påhittade historier och videor”.

Testa Kagia.com som har en helt annan affärsmodell och som bygger på prenumeration. Men man kan få en gratis testperiod. Tror att mer eller mindre alla experimenterar med AI på olika sätt

Redan är detta långt ner i nyhetsvärderingen och JÅ ges sista ordet. Ledsamt att det inte ens förvånar.
